Simple Login to JIRA API

[Koka5]

I have found that node-jira uses basic auth.

But is it possible only to login, then print the response body and not doing anything else?

In sort, i am seeking for the login API to jira in nodejs, after which i can console the response body containing successfull login html page.

I could not find login API anywhere in the repo.

However i have tried the following :

var request = require('request');

request({
protocol :
uri : 'http://myjira.com/login.jsp',
method: 'POST',
headers : { 'Content-type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded' },
body: 'os_username=shared&os_password=shared&os_destination=&atl_token=&login=Log+In'
},
function (err, response, body) {
console.log(body);
}
});

But i get the same page http://myjira.com/login.jsp without any error code.. (statusCode = 200)
with all the login form embedded in the page, instead of the loggedIn dashboard
Means it asks for login again.

whats wrong with it??
